TOLD YA!

So fitting that it was new music Tuesday yesterday and Diddy dropped the already exploded months ago BOMB...

Aubrey got the boot boot boot boot boot....and D Woods got it too too too too too...Sing with me! kick the beat box... check this out (you can skip to the end by clicking the triangles):



Now, ::ahem watch as i step on my soap box::, I don't really feel Aubrey as much as I almost wanted to because she used my favorite quote in the post interview ("I would rather be hated for who I am than loved for who I'm not"). When in a team effort one has to think outside oneself and forget the I's. Particularly when it comes to an ART, one must treat it like a craft, study it, eat, breathe, sleep and embody it until you can not do anything without every move thought word and action encompassing it. Anybody remember that episode where the bands were in Miami and Aubrey was the only one who's A Capella solo was just....off? Babygirl...your heart, I'm sorry, was just not in this. Let alone your ever-shifting, sad to say Diddy coined it, boo boo you're lost I can't call you an artist. When you first auditioned like way way way way way way way back I just remember a pop star but you never fell in. You got punch drunk and lost it somewheres. Hmm.

When I think about my love for music, my fellow peers love for music as well as dance and acting I think of the following:
"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure." Marianne Williamson (not Mandela he just used it in a speech foo! It was a woman! HA!)

Sometimes we are afraid to tap into our inner greatness for the unavoidable success that will inevitably ensue. Maybe that was what was really wrong with Aubrey. Whatever the case, to any artists out there, believe, study and WORK. Nothing worth having comes easy and no talent comes without tweaking, honing and expanding with time. Look at the those on the top of their game. Aspire, reach and do not compromise because only you can truly know your limits.
